January 12, 2026 – Finland is taking a decisive step to position itself at the forefront of industrial-scale carbon removal with the launch of a EUR 90 million investment aid program for biogenic carbon capture projects. Open for applications until 31 March 2026, this initiative signals a new era of strategic, market-driven decarbonization with potential…
Green hydrogen has moved beyond speculative promise. In 2026, it stands at the threshold of commercial relevance-reshaping how governments, industrial operators, and capital markets approach deep decarbonization. Produced through renewable-powered electrolysis, green hydrogen offers a zero-carbon pathway for sectors where electrification alone is insufficient, including steel, chemicals, shipping, aviation, and grid-scale energy storage.
After years…
China’s Xinjiang Oilfield has surpassed one million tonnes of annual carbon dioxide (CO₂) storage, marking a decisive breakthrough in the industrial-scale deployment of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies.
The achievement positions Xinjiang Oilfield-one of China’s most significant oil production bases-as a national leader in integrating emissions reduction with energy production at scale.
